EA faces two more lawsuits for DRM

Posted on Monday, 10 November 2008 by Speed, source: Gamepolitics

It seems people can't get enough of filing suit against EA for using SecuROM and DRM.

A Pennsylvania man, Richard Eldridge, filed suit because Spore Creature Creator installed SecuROM secretely on his PC while Dianna Cortez of Missouri is claiming something similar about The Sims 2: Bon Voyage.

The inclusion of undisclosed, secretly installed DRM protection measures with a program that was freely distributed constitutes a major violation of computer owners' absolute right to control what does and what does not get loaded onto their computers, and how their computers shall be used...

[SecuROM] cannot be completely uninstalled. Once installed it becomes a permanent part of the consumer's software portfolio...

EA's EULA for Spore Creature Creator Free Trial Edition makes utterly no mention of any Technical Protection Measures, DRM technology, or SecuROM whatsoever...

Previously, a woman called Melissa Thomas filed suit in September for SecuROM being used in Spore. Thomas and Eldridge are represented by the same lawfirm. You think the lawyers are trying to make a ton of money on this?
